THE BLACK AND GOLD. 35 12 Little Paul Walker, with a smile so sweet Looks, 'Wray across the aisle at the girls, But Moses Shapiro considers that Weak, An-d scornfully his pencils he twirls. 13 Fay and Lessie are an inseparable pair VVifth Audrey, Sadie and Irene Their joys and sorrows with each -other they share, A But my muse they t-xx sorely I Ween. 14 Our Donna, the quiet, would go on a diet, If there were no boys around. While Margaret Gray Would surely fade away If no parson for her could be found. 15 I sing to you now, of the belle of our class The beatuiful Ernestine Lott, A fair dainty lass, who ne'er looks in the glass Whose school record has never a blot. 16 Of the Sign of -the Fourn Grace Bynum knows more T'han perhap-s anyone can tell, Bu-t when it comes to reading Caesar, Sudie Self holds the floor, Rivialed only by Young William Pell. 17 Harry Dalton is our greatest Demosthenes And many laurels he has Won, Even Jes-sie James he,-s tried to please And so has Robert Vaughn. rg 4

THE BLACK AND GOLD. 6 Fr-om Alma Hauser and fair Daisy Yates, Now be sure I'm telling the truth, We may learn every inch of our future fates Though We're just in the bloom ,of youth. , 7 Buft the tree of knowledge that Wonderful tree, Howard Go-dfrey our inquisitive boy must find, For to all closed doors he must needs have the key Or ask every question that pops in his mind. 8 Now David to Mary, that maiden contrary Geometry in full could impart If mathemaitics he'd talk, When she happens to cough Instead of the stuff in his heart. 9 Luther and James our noted athletes, Are the pride and the bo-ast of our class, But, Percy, when it comes to pure mental feats Not even M. Grogan can surpass. IO T. Langley, the beau, loves all the girls so, But especially Sudie Byerly And even Mary Jones though in the softest of tones, Invites him pret-ty often to tea. ll The Matlock sisters and Mamie Wall NOW, every Word I tell you is true, Flirt terribly with Kyle, outrage-ously tall, Though it makes Essie Wilkin-son quite blue.

THE BLACK AND GOLD. 18 A devoted lover is our Arthur tfo art Wl1.ile Ernest an electrician would be, And from these fancies tfhey'll never depart In looking into the future I plainly can see . 19 No poet's dream ever had such a theme As our Winsome loquaci-ous May Even Mary Sledge can not get in a Wedge When May Norman gets under full sway. 20 IS there any Whose name or fame untold Let him now hold up his hand, Or if he isn't sufficiently told Just imagine he's everything grand. 21 Kind friends thank you one and all For is-o kindly receiving my museg And ere you go home please say that my poem Ha-s not fariled to instruct -and amuse. 13211 Gehe, Geha, Geha, Hatha Winvsrton High School Rah-Rah-Rah Rah-Rah-Rah E Rah-Rah-Rah High School. 4
